If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e8684db191e4164f3f5f3ad7dec04a6734c25f1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuiko Oshino <yuiko.oshino@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2021 14:23:02 -0400 Subject: net: ethernet: microchip: lan743x: Fix skb allocation failure From: Yuiko Oshino <yuiko.oshino@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e8684db191e4164f3f5f3ad7dec04a6734c25f1c upstream. The driver allocates skb during ndo_open with GFP_ATOMIC which has high chance of failure when there are multiple instances. GFP_KERNEL is enough while open and use GFP_ATOMIC only from interrupt context.
